Enrolling at Stevenson

How to Enroll

1. Contact our Enrollment Department at shs_enrollment@d125.org or call 847-415-4077 to start the enrollment process after you've moved into your new home within the District 125 boundaries.
   • Our office is open throughout the summer months to assist our transfer families with the enrollment process.
2. Once your residency is verified, you'll receive a link to our online enrollment application.
   • For families that have just moved in and still need the Category II documents, we ask that you provide your utility bills within 30 days of enrollment. These can be emailed directly to shs_enrollment@d125.org. See above for the list of required residency documents.
3. After the application is reviewed and processed, your student will be assigned an ID number and you will gain access to our Student Management system, Infinite Campus. This will allow you to set up a Parent Portal.
   • This portal allows you to access our fee payment system, Summer School Registration, and other important information pertaining to your student's record.
4. The enrollment team will contact you, let you know if placement testing or assessments are required, and guide you through the process.
   • Typically, students will be assessed in Math, English, and World Languages (if applicable). For students in grades 10-12, we will also review the transcript provided by the prior school attended. 
   • NOTE: Families must produce a letter of withdrawal from prior school (if coming from another country) prior to completing the enrollment process and selecting courses with a counselor.
5. Once the placement process is completed, we will schedule an enrollment appointment with the student and parent/guardian to choose courses with our school counselor and create a schedule.
   • During this in-person meeting, families will discuss the courses that the student will be taking. The school counselor will be available to answer questions that the student or parents may have. Students may view the Stevenson Coursebook and Transitions guide online to review their interests prior to the enrollment meeting.  
6. While at the enrollment appointment, a staff member from the nurse's office will review any medical documentation that you have provided.
   • See the list of requirements here. Proof of appointment for any student still needing a physical will be required at this time. Please contact nurses@d125.org with any questions.
7. Lastly, you will complete the registration/fee payment steps and receive bus route information. 
   • Fee payment can occur at any time in the enrollment process once you have Infinite Campus portal access. Families that transfer into Stevenson after the start of the school year will have the opportunity to complete the registration/fee payment and receive the bus information with our School Operations office during the enrollment appointment. For any questions regarding fees and payment options, please contact our School Operations office at 847-415-4088. 

We are excited and welcome you to our school community! 

Proof of Residency

According to Illinois School Code, only students who reside within the attendance boundaries of District #125 may enroll at Stevenson High School. Residency within the district is verified at the time of a student’s enrollment as well as during each spring for the subsequent school year. The District contracts with a third-party vendor to verify student address information by comparing parent/guardian names and addresses with electronic databases. Additionally, the district may also require additional proofs of residency, interviews of the person(s) enrolling the student, and/or home visits to verify a student’s residency status.

NOTE: The process of establishing residency for newly enrolling families is different than the annual verification of residency for currently enrolled families which is required each summer. For more information about annual residency verification, please click here.
